Pixar Serves Up Another Tasty Entree
Hands down, Pixar is the gold standard of computer animation, and masterful story-telling. This is an orignal tale about a rat in the kitchen, who dreams of actually running that kitchen and becoming a first-class chef. It's also the story of a boy who befriends him and tries to find his own place in the world, and there are also interesting subplots revolving around the rat's other furry family members, and the role of critics and their inspiration. Brad Bird, the guy behind "The Incredibles," has crafted this with a lot of love and care. His recipe for success, and the history of this animation studio, is unparalleled. In the Pixar canon, how's it rank? Well, everyone will most likely love it. But I would put it right behind "Toy Story," "Toy Story 2" and "Finding Nemo," just ahead of "The Incredibles" and "Cars," and better than "Monsters, Inc." and "A Bug's Life." Not bad. In fact, very, very good.
